Island.
This thesis measures the non-consumptive use value of whale watching
using travel cost and contingent value techniques. The consumer surplus
estimate of $23.00 from the travel cost techniques was approximately
equivalent to the contingent value technique estimate of $21.11 or a
capitalized value between $66 and $118 million.

Northeast Coast of Florida." Technical Series, No. 11, Marine
Laboratory, University of Miami, Coral Gables 34, Florida.
This investigation studied the biological and economic aspects of the
fishery in relation to the shrimping areas involved, the species of shrimp
caught, fishery methods and gear, catch composition ecology of the shrimp
area, effects of certain gear on the ecology of shrimp areas, especially
pushnets, statistics and economics of the fishery, and methods of holding and
transporting live shrimp. During this three month study from June to August,
1953, 47 fishermen and dealers were interviewed and field studies were
conducted to collect and observe the fishing methods.
Deacon, Robert T. (1989). "An Empirical Model of Fishery Dynamics."
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 16:167-183.
The multiple-cohort approach to population dynamics is seldom used for
empirical analysis of catch and effort data due to the complexity of the
resulting models and to limitations on available data. The present paper
addresses these problems by adopting a discrete time framework and simplifying
assumptions for growth, mortality, and recruitment. The result is a readily
estimated econometric model of the commercial catch that is consistent with
the multiple-cohort paradigm. This model is applied to catch and effort data
for the California abalone fishery and the estimates obtained are used to
analyze policy.

System." American Economic Review, 70(3):312-326.
A new model is proposed and estimated that is of comparable generality
to the Rotterdam and translog models but that has considerable advantages over
both. This model, called the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS), gives an
arbitrary first-order approximation to any demand system; it satisfies the
axioms of choice exactly; it aggregates perfectly over consumers without
invoking parallel linear Engel curves; it has a functional form that is
consistent with known household budget data; it is simple to estimate, largely
avoiding the need for nonlinear estimation; and it can be used to test the
restrictions of homogeneity and symmetry through linear restrictions on fixed
parameters. Although many of these desirable properties are possessed by one
or other of the Rotterdam or translog models, neither possesses all of them
simultaneously.
